BACKGROUND
The Lake Chad region (Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Nigeria) is caught in a conflict trap. It is experiencing one of the world’s worst humanitarian emergencies with an estimated 10.7 million people in need of assistance. adelphi’s study Shoring up Stability demonstrates, for the first time, how climate change is interacting with the conflict and compounds the crisis in the Lake Chad region.
The launch event will present the findings from this climate and fragility assessment on Lake Chad to policy-makers, experts and practitioners working on regions affected by climate and fragility. Based on the study, experts from the Lake Chad region will share their experiences how climate, peacebuilding and humanitarian programmes can address climate and fragility risks prevalent in the region.
The launch event aims to address in particular the following questions:
• What are the key challenges arising from the convergence of climate change and fragility?
• To what extent are these risks being acknowledged in interventions on the ground?
• How specifically can humanitarian, development and climate action address these risks?
• What entry points can address the security, development and climatic challenges together?
• What is the value of a climate-fragility risk assessment to sustainable development? What are the challenges/limitations?
To discuss these questions and identify ways forward, the Federal Foreign Office and adelphi are convening a breakfast meeting, drawing on lessons from the field and expert inputs to discuss the purpose and value of assessing and addressing linked climate and fragility issues in order to promote peace and stability.
